Here are the keys you can use to edit the command line:

<F1>

Displays one character at a time from the
command line buffer. The right-pointing
direction key works in the same way.

<F3>

Displays entire contents of command buffer

<Ins>

Allows insertion of one or more characters in
the command line.

<Del>

Allows deletion of a character from the
command line buffer.

<Esc>

Cancels the current command line and returns
you to a new, empty line.

<Backspace>

Deletes to the left. Allows "backing up" on
the command line. The left-pointing direction
key works in the same way.

Examples of Command Line Editing

Suppose you intended to enter the CHKDSK command, but accidentally
entered:

CHKDSI

You receive a message indicating that CHKDSI is a nonexistent
command or file name. Rather than re-keying in the entire string, you
could press <F3> which re-displays the entire string you just entered:

CHKDSI_

At this point your cursor is located just after the last character
displayed, indicated here with the underscore ( _ ). By pressing
<Backspace> you remove the letter (I) from the end of the line, putting
the cursor in its place:

CHKDS_
